Trump Creates ‘Denaturalization’ Task Force to Pursue Deportation Against Thousands of U.S. Citizens

In June, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services quietly announced a new task force that will investigate “bad” naturalization cases, wherein the agency will hire dozens of lawyers and immigration officers “to find U.S. citizens they say should not have been naturalized, to revoke their citizenship, and then eventually deport them,” according to The Takeaway, from WNYC and Public Radio International.

CNN reports that that the new office in Southern California will review cases and then refer them to the Justice Department, which will then pursue denaturalization proceedings against U.S. citizens accused of fraud.

In an interview with the Associated Press, USCIS Director L. Francis Cissna said the number of cases could reach into the thousands—this in a nation of about 325 million.

“We finally have a process in place to get to the bottom of all these bad cases and start denaturalizing people who should not have been naturalized in the first place,” Cissna said. “What we’re looking at, when you boil it all down, is potentially a few thousand cases.”

6. Yeah, but those are white, Russian

anchor babies. Those are OK. He's talking about brown babies...if he could, he'd declare all brown people "not citizens" and deport them.

[BigmanPigman]

5. He will attempt to do everything and everything...he IS crazy!

He wants to be US dictator for life and will do everything in his power to make this happen. This is war and it began 18 months ago. I, for one, am in this fight to save my country from greedy, power hungry, old, white, rich men.

[Civic Justice]

7. His wife would be the first one to go, along with her parents.

If we go back to his own Grand-daddy... then we'd be deporting Trump too.... he's be on the first boat out of this country and all his children and anchor baby grandchildren too.

8. It might involve work and effort, so I doubt it

if he could do it in a tweet he'd be doing it tomorrow

9. 14th Amendment key to Roe, and more directly and importantly,

Planned Parenthood v Casey, which strengthened Roe legally.
